Pediatric obesity continues to be a critical health issue in the United States, but access to specialized care remains limited, especially outside of urban teaching hospitals. Traditional obesity clinics in academic centers provide comprehensive, team-based care, but these centers often struggle with long waitlists, high costs, and limited reach. Meanwhile, innovative private-sector models are emerging for adult obesity care, leveraging cash pay, insurance options, and telemedicine to broaden accessibility. In this session, we’ll explore a pioneering approach to obesity care for children, adolescents, and young adults—an alternative model that brings high-quality, interdisciplinary obesity management to private practice. Learn how private practices can adapt successful strategies from adult care models, integrate telemedicine, and expand support to underserved regions. Join us to reimagine pediatric obesity care beyond tertiary centers, making a lasting impact on families and communities nationwide.
